AI has the potential to significantly impact career advancement for women in academia through several transformative avenues. Firstly, AI can address gender biases in publishing and funding by deploying algorithms designed to anonymize submissions and evaluate them based solely on merit and relevance, thereby promoting fairness in academic recognition and resource allocation. Additionally, AI-driven analytics can help identify and reduce gender disparities in citation practices and academic networking, ensuring women’s work receives equal attention and influence.

Moreover, AI tools can assist in balancing workload and managing administrative tasks, providing women academics with more time to focus on research and professional development. This is particularly beneficial in helping overcome the challenge of the "double burden" — managing career alongside disproportionate domestic responsibilities.

AI also facilitates access to global networks and collaborative platforms, enabling women to easily connect with mentors and peers worldwide, which can be crucial for career progression and breaking through institutional barriers. By leveraging AI for these purposes, the academic landscape can be reshaped into a more equitable space, encouraging more women to pursue and thrive in scholarly careers.
